North of the river is where it's at. Apart from Greenwich, South of the river sucks ass, unfortunately I have friends in South East London so I have to go there occasionally, I am trying to persuade them all to move North. So far a few of them have, yippee!

My gf used to live South, like many non Londoners when they first move to London. She used to insist that it was much better than North but after we moved in North of the river she finally saw the light and admitted the North's superiority. So much so, in fact, that when we split for a year or so she stayed North.
Victory!

The only good thing south of the river is the "Waterfront swimming pool" in woolwich.

Brixtons nice or atleast Brixton hill and the area around the tube station god knows about the rest of it.. Claphams abit meh apart from The Grand.
Where abouts are you guys specifically meaning for "north" as its a pretty vast area. The only part ive been too is Highgate outside of the touristy bits.

On a strict North/South divide I use the Thames. Of course that means that West London gets some undeserved credit but no system is perfect. As a born and bred Londoner I get sick of out of towners always insisting that the South is so much nicer when what they mean is more affordable for paupers fresh out of Uni, with 5 to a house and a job in London.

I consider the split North and South of Charring Cross as that is considered the mid point of London. Also Westminster is SW1. But that is just me being picky.
That's being too picky otherwise you could discount large swathes of South London as even belonging to London, as Charing Cross was chosen as the midpoint in the 18th century
Londoners generally consider the Thames the divide.Hot Coldman

:lol It's alright is what most of us should be saying about where we live. For as miserable the prospects of Scunthorpe are, I can't say it's really given me much grief. It's alright.
In other news, I have no fucking clue who my flatmates are for the next year. Fuck meeting them in public on moving day, this is the age of Facebook damn it! *reluctantly posts on halls' Facebook group wall*
Just came back from a couple of days in London. My mate who I used to work at Pizza Hut with's girlfriend lives in a 5-story townhouse in Hampstead. Jackpot!
Was really nice, and stuff in London isn't THAT expensive imo, although the compulsory 10% service charge bites a little. Oh, Camden is a shithole.

The main High Street area is but the surrounding areas are lovely. Also it's quite a sterilised, safe 'edgy' area, where tourists and middle class teens can go and feel daring.

I take it you've never been to Centre Parcs?
Outside rapids = awesomeness (and injuries when trying to race)

Center Parcs is one of my favourite places in the world, been going there for over 20 years. There is nothing quite like escaping to the woods and doing whatever you feel like.
Ride to the pool, go down the rapids a few times, relax in the jacuzzi, get pick 'n' mix from Treats, maybe do some badminton or crazy golf, then light a Duraflame and kick back in the villa. Or, do it the other way round and go for a swim at night, looking up at the stars from the warm, steamy pool. Heaven.
A real shame that it's cheapened itself a bit in recent years. Things like Starbucks and the woodland lodges have really tarnished the experience.
I used to love Center Parcs. Haven't been for a few years though, it's too expensive nowadays. The missus is a teacher so we have to go during half terms and it's cheaper to fly to the other side of the world instead.Musha_Soturi said:

It's weird, the last week has been surprisingly good weather-wise. Even today, it was pretty warm and muggy despite being overcast.
Mind you, I live in Dundee now, allegedly the sunniest place in Scotland. (Which isn't saying much.)
